"A terrific tale that resonates nearly a century on, at a time when many people are still wondering about the connections between Big Oil and politicians at the highest levels." Jon Meacham, author ofFranklin and Winston "This is a story that has it alla Jazz Age background, a pleasure-loving president surrounded by booze and chorus girls, boomtown capitalists from the Wild West, [and] conniving politicians. . . . [Laton McCartney has] a certain zest forTeapot's sordid comedy [and] delivers fresh, arresting portraits of the main players, some of them lovable rogues, others beady-eyed scoundrels." The New York Times "The most thorough treatment of the scandals to date." Los Angeles Times Book Review "Titillating, tantalizing . . . The book reads like a novel. McCartney's cast of characters jumps off the page." Baltimore Sun "A cautionary tale of what happens when corrupt and indifferent public officials give an industry undue influence over public policy." The Denver Post "Fascinating reading."

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
